The M-5900RVe uses the latest RISC processor technology to significantly improve throughput and imaging response time. The new M-5900RVe is in a class by itself. It is not just a thermal transfer printer with the ribbon mechanism removed, but designed from the start for industrial direct thermal applications.

Long Life Printhead - The M-5900RVe incorporates a printhead designed for long life direct thermal printing. Its warranty and life expectancy are many times the typical industry standards. With a warranty of one year or two million linear inches and expected life of up to 4 million inches, printhead replacement cost savings alone will more than pay for the printer when compared to other printers available.

Memory - The M-5900RVe printer comes with a full 18 MB of on-board memory standard! Windows® Compatible - Users still have the option of producing high quality labels by using either SATO's native command language (SBPL) or quality label design and production software. Now, the ability to easily and efficiently produce labels direct from Windows® applications, such as WORD, EXCEL, ACCESS, etc., is also an option.

Interface Connections - Choose from one of SATO's standard high-speed, bi-directional Plug-In Interface Modules: IEEE1284 Parallel, 57.6k bps High-Speed Serial, or Universal Serial Bus (USB). Also available are optional Plug-In Interface Modules for Twinax/Coax, Ethernet-10/100BaseT (incl. WPCPlus), Wireless 802.11b and RS422/485 Serial.
